Soda Siphon, 1 L

The ISI soda syphon is a stylish and healthy way to make sparkling drinks at home. The item arrived well packaged and the kit includes everything you need to make fizzy drinks including a stainless Steel cap to replace the charger holder while the carbonated drink is stored in the fridge. Having a mirror polished stainless Steel body it not only feels high quality but also looks the part on the table. I have read comments from people who complained that the water wasn't fizzy enough. This only happens when insufficient time is allowed for the Co2 to dissolve in the water or if the water isn't cold enough. Simply place the soda syphon in the fridge and once the water is chilled it is also well carbonated. The grade of carbonation can be adjusted by using one or two co2 chargers easily. It also turns wine into sparkling wine, or carbonates juices (without pulp) which is a great alternative to sugary fizzy drinks. I can't recommend it highly enough! Very pleased with the purchase.

I bought this after reading plastic has been found in bottled sparkling water. It's simple to use - but bear in mind it doesn't come with 02 cartridges so you have to buy them separately. But I wouldn't go back to plastic bottled sparkling water. Also - a little tip - it says in instructions shake 5 times after filling it with water with the 02 cartridge - you actually need to shake it a few more times than that otherwise it doesn't fizz. Also make sure the water you fill it with it ice cold.

I hate writing critical comments on Amazon but have done so here. This worked beautifully three times before the trigger malfunctioned, allowing all of the gas from the bottles to discharge straight through the nozzle without charging the tank. It’s a pity, because I liked it, but it was returned for a swift refund (thank you Amazon). It definitely isn’t worth over £70.

The good news is that the product is excellent. The bad news is that the original instructions were terrible. I’ve just had to replace mine because it broke, like many others on here, due to the old instruction booklet. The new instructions tell you to put no more than1 litre of water in. This leaves a gap at the top so the pressure is not too high. The old instructions said to fill it to the top. I had been doing this with my original one until one of the seals blew out due to too much pressure. Keep the water under 1 litre and it should work well.

Good product

This is a real quality soda syphon. It is made of stainless steel and feels very substantial . Took a couple of tries to make the soda just right, but this was my fault and nothing to do with the instructions. It is not cheap , but you will not be disappointed with the quality, and for me, money well spent.

Does not make very fizzy water, just slightly petilliant

isi are the best and they last forever. We have always bought isi (an old family-run Austrian company). And recently changed from the old-style aluminium,ones to stainless steel. It’s a long time since we last used plastic bottles and water that we haven’t fizzified ourselves (delicious). Word in those people’s ear who seem to manage to get gas escaping; this has only ever rarely happened to me and only at the very beginning of using,soda syphon some 40+ yrs ago (my grandfather’s advice) … to avoid initial gas seepage or complete loss of gas, follow this bit of ADVICE: use some hot water on the round top-seal of the ‘straw’-bit that fits over the bottle seal, and seepage will never happen again, unless, of course, you happen to be unlucky or a trifle silly, or, heaven forbid, both! - Enjoy the lack of plastic (yes, there is some plastic, but the amount is almost the same as a two-litre plastic bottle)!

Es veu i és de força qualitat. L'aparell mereix les 5 estrelles i per aixó les hi poso, però pel meu gust les carrregues no donen el "picant" dels sifonts "Normals". No és culpa del aparell.

Tres bon produit, je met de l'eau très froide une première cartouche, je secou pendant 30/40 sec et après 15 min une deuxième cartouche. Bon resultat, leq bulleq sont fines mais on les sents parfaitement en bouche. Ideal pour cocktails. Petite remarque, je n'avais jamais utilisé ce type de produit et quand on bois l'eau nature le gaz des cartouches donne un goût particulier à l'eau. Asse etrange comme gout.

Makes excellent soda but it's cheaper to buy soda from outside. Besides initial cost, cartridges are very expensive.

Acquistato da Amazon dopo confronto con altri sifoni similari in acciaio e alluminio e quando il prezzo -troppo alto- è diminuito ad € 66,59, avvicinandosi ai prezzi degli altri venditori presenti su Amazon. Scelto quello da 1 Lt. per praticità (ci si possono fare più drinks rispetto a quello da Lt. 0,75). Scelto in acciaio perchè lo ritengo più sicuro, facilmente pulibile e duraturo. Arrivato velocissimo (in neppure 24 ore con Prime !), provato subito con le cartucce "ISI Soda" acquistate sempre su Amazon. Funzionamento semplicissimo, basta fare attenzione alle istruzioni (peccato che il manuale in Italiano allegato non le comprenda tutte). Buon prodotto, buon Seltz, bella linea estetica. Per questi motivi e la velocità con cui l'ho ricevuto, il massimo della valutazione. Prodotto consigliato Unico neo il manuale istruzioni, completo solo nella lingua Inglese, nelle altre lingue (Italiano compreso) manca delle due pagine fondamentali sull'uso e la pulizia (costano veramente tanto due pagine cartacee in più ?), potete comunque trovarle nella versione .pdf sul sito ISI .

Other reviews on this product cover the important aspects of the product so I just want to bring up my experience which made me want to return it. Then I learned the trick. I followed all the advice on using chilled water and things like shaking more than the manufacturer recommends. But most of the time when inserting the gas it would either spew gas out the nozzle or make a wet mess as it spewed everywhere. I thought it was the valve and I convinced myself that it was just a bad one. (wasn't) I even went to the Amazon return page to see about getting a new top part. No options to contact the vendor, only return. So I decided to do that. But it would not let me because of a shipping restriction on pressurized or flammable materials. While this thing can be pressurized it can be shipped with the top of making is just a bottle. And definitely nothing flammable. In fact CO2 is a good fire extinguisher. So I took another look at the thing and read some more about it. The answer is to only fill it to 1 quart so that there is enough air space for the gas to go. Liquid will not compress so with no room for the CO2 gas it forces it out the valve. So I measured exactly 1 qt. and haven't had a problem since. Works like a charm and usually has enough gas to dispense the entire bottle. Even if it does "run out of juice" That's not really a concern. Just unscrew the top and pour. It's still fully carbonated. Before buying this I used bottled club soda from the grocery store. So I have a plentiful supply of empty bottles to use. It's difficult to see exactly where the level is in the stainless bottle. But easy to fill up an empty seltzer bottle and fill it up from that bottle. Also I'm learning that because you need to use chilled water it's easier to keep a bottle filled and capped so that the big bottle can be either chilling with fresh water and sitting to absorb the gas. With planning you can keep a constant supply. Before this I would only buy 2 bottles from the grocery store weekly. Now it doesn't matter how much I drink. The CO2 bottles are an expense but less than half the cost of the grocery story water so definitely a bargain. With the costs of the CO2 and the price of this the break even is about 200 bottles. Sounds like a lot but over the lifetime of the product you will get to that point and the convenience of not having to lug bottles from the store is an added bonus.
